    It’s been my observation on other threads that LED conversions have about a 50/50 chance of being successful. It may depend on the brand used?

    I have cheap Amazon LEDs on my 4Runners and so far luck is on my side. :):)

    Could be a bad bulb causing it? If your set has more T10 LED bulbs you could swap and check?

    did a swap of another bulb and it does the same. a little background when i installed the first led bulb i turned it and it turned out of the socket and fell behind console so i took it down retrieved the little socket reinstalled and its been doing this ever since. i think i need a new socket.

    I switched out my 22's map lights to red led from Diode and have no problems. I would consider the socket before I did anything else. Does the bulb fit secure, or is it a little loose?

    Did you try flipping the bulb around 180°? Some of them are directional.

    yes the bulb does light but the switch doesnt seem to "click" like the other one; if i hold it in a neutral position it will light i think its the switch but finding one might be a challenge!
